A:AnswerYes, the tablet works just fine without being connected to cellular. You will need to be connected to WiFi if you want to surf the internet or get mail though. I would suggest not checking bank statements and other sensitive websites when connected to public WiFi hotspots, I.e. Starbucks or McDonalds.
A:AnswerYes, I am currently using this iPad to take notes in my college lectures! There are other helpful options when taking notes as well. I record lectures and take notes at the same time, that way I can review my notes in all aspects. This iPad is amazing and very helpful when on the go because it is not too big. Hope this helps!
A:AnswerBasically yes. You would also have access to the internet when not on WiFi and would be using data on a cellular plan. If you don’t need that you can save money by purchasing a tablet that does not support cellular data connection via data plan.
A:AnswerThe 2 year contract is for the Cellular Data Plan. This particular iPad is WiFi and Cellular. It will normally operate on WiFi, but when no WiFi signal is available and/or to be more secure when browsing the internet you will need to use a Cellular data plan to connect to the internet.
